The cottage was brilliant it had everything we needed. The location was very good overlooking the river, Just a few minutes walk into Morpeth for all the amenities and a short walk to the station where we were able to catch a train into Newcastle. From all the comments in the visitor book including ours proves that all the hard work that Jan & Pete who own the cottage have done to make the cottage so comfortable has been worth while. Thank you Jean & James Wilson

“AN OUTSTANDING COTTAGE.
...”

AN OUTSTANDING COTTAGE.
ONLY MINOR CRITICISM IS THAT YOUR INSTRUCTIONS SAY PASS OLD TOWN HALL ON YOUR RIGHT WHEN APPROACHING FROM THE SOUTH & IT SHOULD READ THE COURT HOUSE.
BRILLIANT PLACE FOR A HOLIDAY COTTAGE

Hillgate cottage far exceeded what I expected for a rental holiday cottage and you could tell a lot of effect had gone into the cottage from the owner to make it feel very homely.

“Hillgate Cottage is delightful. It ...”

Hillgate Cottage is delightful. It is decorated and furnished to a high standard with great kitchen facilities. We appreciated the two bathrooms and downstairs loo, and it was very clean - impossible to tell that other people had taken dogs with them. The location is brilliant, both being in Morpeth and in the town centre. The owners had put that bit of extra thought into everything such as providing local maps and guides, books, games, leaving flowers, etc. So all in all we loved it.
There is very little I would change but if you are interested in possible improvements then the sofa was not terribly comfortable (hence my comfort rating) - I hasten to add that the beds were absolutely fine. I think that if I had small children then the lack of a safety railing on the steps in the outside area would worry me.
